Mandate for legislation

The Mandate recorded below is the agenda for all people and those elected to the Federal government of the Presidency and Congress to implement. The Mandate is also the agenda for all State governments to adhere to.

All citizens agree to implement into legislation at the state level as well as the national level this mandated list of both domestic and international policy.

Corporate capitalism, with its basic tenet that profit is more important than you, has brought the whole planet unnecessary starvation, cancer, warfare, poison and pollution.

This mandate repudiates America’s history of racism, and its creating and supporting dictatorships, terrorism, and warfare.

From this point forward, under the legislation and policy direction of this mandate American citizens take back control of government and implement the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence.

Remember, you are all members of government.This is signified and a fact based upon your right to vote. You are voting for a person to represent you as a member of government. You are that government.

The Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence are the guides for government. We the People are the focus and determination of all actions of government. We are all equal members of government. All legislation created by government has the directive to be implemented for the benefit of 'We the People." Not we the banks, not we the corporations, not we the Christians, not we the white people. The Constitution states the proper focus: 'We the People." All of us.

TaxesYou pay money into you. You are investing in yourself, your family, and your children's future. You pay taxes that come back to you as programs to benefit you.

Throwing out the corporate capitalism motivation of profit at any cost,We the People activate the correct first motivation of business, government, and humans as; Be a benefit to others.

Throwing out the corporate capitalism poison and pollution agenda,We the People of all nations act in cooperation to build and sustain the planet.

The acts of legislation are these:

It is hard to underestimate the corrosive fraudulent deceit of the 'war on drugs.' It begins the list as it is way past time to finally bring this gross fraud to an end.

End all aspects of criminal Nixon's 'war on drugs.'The 'war on drugs' has been a chaotic grotesque failure. It has destroyed your Civil Rights and has been the excuse for police state tactics. 'No knock' police home invasion, asset forfeiture, searches of your home and auto without warrant, the unconstitutional use of 'snitches' and unidentified informants as witnesses, mandatory prison sentences, and other such police state activities are deleted.

With LegalizationWe the people pull the rug out from not only police state terrorismwith Legalization we also pull the rug out from street gang economy, profits, and culture.We the people control the drug market - with transparent oversight, control of production, distribution, age access, and court access for contract dispute resolution.

Legalization is the only option.There is no other way in a government with our Constitution and Bill of Rights.There is no success to prohibition. Prohibition is always failure and police state repression.

All people charged with drug offenses including but not limited to; possession, distribution, cultivation, transportation are pardoned and released from prison. Eddy Lepp, Marc Emery, Roger Christie and Share Christie, and all people convicted of non-violent marijuana issues are released, pardoned and their sentences expunged from record.Only those convicted of violent acts including murder, rape, assault, child abuse, arson in conjunction with their drug charges are not released from prison.

As to the "Whistleblowers" that have exposed government corruption and deceit:Chelsey Manning, Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, Jeffrey Sterling, and the other 'whistleblowers' harassed by the Obama administration, are freed from any prosecution. We the People thank them for exposing the gross police state actions and deceit of American government and military.

Revoke the Patriot Act.

Revoke Executive Order 12333. Republican President Reagan is responsible for this atrocity against our 4th Amendment. This Executive Order authorizes the collection of the content of communication of American citizens. There is no requirement of being suspected of wrongdoing and no limit on the volume of communication that may be collected and retained. No warrant or court approval and no reporting to Congress. There is no need for the NSA to notify or obtain consent of a company before collecting a user's data. This is a clear violation of the 4th Amendment and an assertion of a police state terror against American citizens. It is revoked and all departments related to its activity are audited and deleted as well.

Remove the FISA immunity.

Delete the NDAA statements allowing US citizens to be arrested by the military, the holding of American citizens in indefinite detention and denial of constitutional rights of civil trial, remove the president’s ability to order assassinations of American citizens.

Delete the Espionage Act.

Delete the NSAAll invasions of privacy by Federal or State police or government agents through wiretapping, internet, banking, and other investigations must have evidence presented to a 3 judge panel who sign off on the request. There will be a public record of the request with the evidence supporting the claim for invasion of privacy available for public scrutiny. The 3 judge panel is selected by vote of American citizens. Members of the 3 judge panel can not be former police, FBI, CIA, DEA, Department of Homeland Security, TSA, or any other police or spy agency. All secret courts are deleted.The secret courts were created by the war criminals Bush-Cheney. The secret court records are open for public scrutiny.

There will be no secret courts.

Guantanamo prison is closed. All CIA torture prisons around the world are named, exposed, then closed and destroyed. In 1988, President Reagan signed the United Nations Convention Against Torture. Reagan declared there were no excuses to justify the use of torture, "No exceptional circumstances whatsoever."

In alphabetical order the general statements of the Mandate are listed below:

Agriculture and food

No Genetically Modified Organisms or Genetic Engineered(GMO - GE) are allowed on the market place. There is no need for any GMO/GE products.

Local small scale, family, community run organic productions for vegetable, fruit, and livestock production are assisted.

Local vegetable production is assisted throughout the country so that cities of all sizes have vegetable production within city limits as well as in the surrounding counties of the cities and towns. Organic and minimized use pesticide and herbicide production is the norm.

Corn will not be used as a gasoline additive such as Ethanol. Corn requires too much herbicide, fertilizer and pesticide use. Corn is destructive to soil and the run off of the chemicals used pollute our water supply.

BanksThe money you deposit into a bank is always your money. You can always withdraw 100% of your money at any time.Your money is never the money of the bank. A bank can charge no more than 1% of your average yearly checking account balance to cover bank costs of operation. Banks are a public service.

2nd AmendmentA well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.As there is NO well regulated militia, the 2nd Amendment is invalid.As firearms are such a dangerous threat to the security and safety of the community, it is quite proper and sane for the public to have strong restrictions placed upon their acquisition, transfer, inheritance, and sale. The safe community is one where there are no firearms. It's time to Repeal the 2nd Amendment. No guns, no gun murders.

Hunting: has been a human activity for food and will continue to be allowed.To kill wild life for sport is a brutally ignorant and outdated activity in the face of 21st century humane-intelligence. "Trophy" hunting is justifiably made illegal.

CIA, FBI, Homeland Security and related agencies

All intervention by the CIA, DEA and other spy agencies in Latin and South America is stopped.

Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is audited. Its budget is no longer secret. Its budget is uncensored and available to Congressional oversight and audit and public review.

His name is removed and his actions in the FBI repudiated.The FBI is audited and its budget reduced by 35%. Its mission statement and first priority is clearly stated to: Ensure and protect the Civil Rights of American citizens. Its investigations are only national in scope. The FBI will respect the Bill of Rights and assist American citizens in the maintenance of the Bill of Rights.

All Patriot Act related invasions of privacy, destruction of American's 1st and 4th Amendments in particular are exposed for public scrutiny.

Drug War

As stated earlier, the ‘war on drugs’ is ended. No further taxpayer money will be allotted. Prohibition is ended.

Audit the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and then delete the DEA.

Prohibition as a policy is deleted.Prohibition is fraud and guaranteed disaster. Prohibition hands control to the black market. Under the fraud of prohibition, banks laundered illegal drug profits, corporations bought and traded cocaine, Ron Reagan funded his illegal ‘Iran-Contra’ operation with cocaine drug money. Street gangs, international crime syndicates decided production, distribution, age access and contract.

Drug Legalization meansWe, the People, take control of the drug market away from bankers, gangs, DEA, corporations and we decide on production, distribution, age access, taxation, and contract issues.

Drug addiction is a health issue and not a prison sentence.Education on drug use will diminish excessive and uncontrolled drug use. Education will consist of information on the effects of various drugs, what excessive use means and its effects, and the society responsibility to all of us that comes with the freedom to have legal access to intoxicants. All things are manageable, when there is open discussion, legalization, and transparent oversight of all business operation.

EducationIt is time to invest in an upgrade of the structure and format of the education system. K through 12 education is updated with a format matching the Internet and related technologies.Education will also include Science free from the religious fraud of 'intelligent design' and other Christian attempts to deny scientific discovery, and the attempt to insert religious myths and religious based information as science.

History education will include the fact that as Americans we acknowledge that the Confederacy had no validity. For Americans, there is no defense of slavery. The American Civil War was correct to wipe out the system of slavery.

History will also include the fact of American hypocrisy of supporting and developing dictatorships in the countries including but not limited to; Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and throughout other countries in Latin and South America, the Philippines, Iran, Vietnam, and Africa.History will include the abuses by the American settlers and military troops inflicted upon the native American people.

History will include a clear statement of the incorrect and destructive fact of American racism with its "Jim Crow", voter suppression, violent white supremacist groups, segregation, and police terrorism.

We will acknowledge the past incorrect foreign and national policy directions and repudiate them. America was founded on throwing out the tyranny of King and aristocracy and establishing a government of the people. The new direction of American foreign policy will not endorse and support dictatorships and economic policy that crushes human rights.

Education will not shy away from historical facts of incorrect American policies that violated our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence.With the past admitted and repudiated, we can move on with a clear human rights direction as stated in our Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence with equal access and equal protection under the law.We will heed the warning - those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.

Election process

The Electoral College is deleted. All elections are determined by the public vote. No voter testing like the old 'Jim Crow' era voter suppression is allowed. One need be only an American citizen to vote.All Republican -Tea Party 'voter ID' requirement legislation is invalidated.

To remove the fraud of gerrymandering, there are no districts in the States.

Oil and coal use are abandoned within 5 years.

No nuclear power plants will be built.All existing nuclear power plants will be shut down within 3 years. All uranium mining is permanently ended.Uranium mining companies will pay for all site clean up, environmental damage, poisoning and research to neutralize or destroy nuclear waste.

Environmental

Environmental concerns are nationwide priority: Taxpayer funds will go to environmental cleanup of polluted sites, lakes and rivers, research and development of environmental cleanup, alternative energy development and pollution control. This is a huge new employment area.

Foreign Aid fundAll foreign aid money, which is coming from your tax money, is reviewed. Only nations that are implementing the same Civil Rights of the United States of America will receive foreign aid funds. Those Civil Rights include but not limited to uncensored news media, free speech, freedom of and from religion, equal rights for women, all birth control and national health care, a military that is under civilian control, and open transparent political participation by the public.

Foreign Aid to Israel is ended

America's foreign aid to Israel has supported the Israeli Apartheid against the Palestinian people. America's foreign aid has paid for the construction of the Israeli wall of segregation. The USA will no longer be a partner to such repression.No USA foreign aid funds or any other taxpayer funds, or military equipment and military assistance will be given to Israel.Israel has prospered from USA foreign aid and no longer needs to continue to receive Billions in American taxpayer 'corporate welfare.'

FrackingFracking is completely stopped. Clean up and Restitution to property owners impacted by fracking is the complete responsibility of the companies who did the fracking.

Medical training of doctors, nurses, medical technology, and medical laboratory personnel is increased. Medical school tuition and costs are taxpayer paid. Upon graduation, doctors and nurses, and medical technology and medical laboratory graduates work in the National Health care system.The Health care system is the major employment area of economy

Human Rights

Homosexuals, including the terms; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Heterosexuals have the same rights and equal protection of and access to the law.

Religious-Church affiliated businesses operating within the United States are legally bound by this law of equality. As Church and State are separate under the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence, the human rights of and access to and equal treatment under the law takes precedence over religious excuses to segregate, repress, deny access to services and treatment of people based upon race, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference, and gender.

Religion is not legislation.Religion cannot be an excuse by an American citizen or non-American living in USA or company (American company or foreign company) for segregation, repression, and denial of services.

Internet

The Internet will be uncensored with open and equal access.As an International Utility, the Internet will remain open with equal access speeds for all users. There will be no dividing up the Internet to higher fees for higher speed access.

Israel

No more USA foreign aid funds, taxpayer funds, military equipment or military assistance will be given to Israel.Israel has 200 nuclear weapons but refuses to allow nuclear inspection and has refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.Israel has built a "Berlin Wall" of segregation.The Israeli policy against the Palestinian people has the attributes of racist Apartheid and the USA can no longer continue to support such repression of the Palestinian people.There are other numerous Human Rights abuses listed against Israel. Over 70 such complaints have been put forward by the United Nations and all have been vetoed by the USA.

In 1948, the minority Jewish population violently stole the lands of the majority Islamic Palestinians. The Jewish refusal to end that abuse of the Islamic Palestinian people and America's support of Israel has been one of America's foreign policy mistakes and led to the September 11 attack. It is time to rectify that policy.

Legalization

Legalization takes away criminal enterprise and criminal profits. Legalization keeps oversight and control in the hands of We the people.

Legalize:Gambling, drugs and prostitution.

We should have learned from the gross failure of the alcohol prohibition that prohibition as a policy is guaranteed disaster. Prohibition is not compatible with our Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence.

With Legalization comes increased funding for education about gambling, alcohol, drugs and prostitution and the social responsibility for having access to alcohol, gambling, drugs, and prostitution.

Legalization and the Prohibition issue

Prohibition is a policy of America’s ignorant, moralizing and racist past.Prohibition caused: The expansion of money laundering by banks, Al Capone gangsters, criminal profits, destruction of our civil rights and corruption and police state terrorism of the police, the worthless and fraudulent Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), massive profits to international crime cartels and street gangs, Trillion dollar waste of taxpayer money, increased poverty, increased access to drugs by children, increased abuse of children, reckless and unconstitutional imprisonment of citizens, and complete lack of oversight and control of gambling, drugs and prostitution.The policy of prohibition in regards to gambling, alcohol, drugs, and prostitution is abandoned and made illegal.

Legalization means We the People, control production, distribution, age access and open the courts for contract resolution.

Medical training

Expand the numbers of doctors that are trained. Expand numbers of nurses and all medical technician personnel. All doctors, nurses and medical technicians work in government national health care system.

Military

All US military forces are removed from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan. All military spending is cut by 50% and further cuts will be implemented to drastically diminish military spending. Military spending in 2 years will be less than 75% of its current level.

American military forces cannot be sent to any foreign country for combat, ‘police’ action, support of a government or support of a revolution without a majority Congressional roll call vote of consent. The Congressional consent lasts one year and cannot be made for a period longer than one year without a Congressional roll call vote of a declaration of war.

American military or security forces cannot supply and train foreign governments military forces or paramilitary forces that are used to suppress human rights and labor union development.

The US government will no longer contract out to any subcontractors. All activities are to be done by US military personnel. All military expenses are paid by the American taxpayers. All military personnel are not exempt from prosecution for criminal actions.

Peace Corp

Peace Corp is expanded. Some of the cuts to the military budget will be shifted to Peace Corp funding. Citizens enter the Peace Corp instead of the military and from such service receive free college education and other Peace Corp Veterans benefits. We will shift from a dominant violent position of military spending to the humanitarian and economic assistance of the Peace Corp.

Plastics

This product needs to be mentioned as it has proven to be environmentally a disaster. We must invest in research and development to eliminate the existing plastic waste polluting our oceans and lands and we must invest in alternative chemical compositions that are biodegradable.

Police

We the People rule over the police. The police do not rule over the people. There are no 'Constitution Free Zones'.

All Border Guards activity is restricted to a distance no more than one mile from the USA border and all their activity is in accordance with the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

All Federal police agencies such as: Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (ATF), Border patrol, FBI, and other agencies will have audits and cutting of their budgets and activities.

Federal police will be under one agency. That agency will have complete transparent operation with all of its proceedings and budget open to public scrutiny and public oversight, investigation and prosecution.

All USA police agencies will adhere strictly to the Miranda Decision, Bill of Rights and Constitution.

Independent citizen oversight of police

All state, local, and federal police agencies will have independent citizen oversight boards of review. The citizen board will have powers of investigation, evidence gathering, prosecution, and jailing of convicted police members.Members of the citizen oversight boards will never be current or former police, law enforcement or spy agency personnel.The USA will not be a police state.

Prison

All persons convicted of non-violent drug offenses are released from prison and their record is cleared of those charges. In the future, people convicted of non-violent offenses such as embezzlement, theft, robbery, slander, fraud will be charged to pay a fine. Jail time will only happen with repeat offense.

Corporations convicted of such crimes, including but not limited to fraud, embezzlement, false advertising, robbery, tax evasion will be prosecuted. The corporate personnel involved will be found and prosecuted and upon conviction, the personnel will have jail time and bank account funds and property will be confiscated to repay those affected by the crime. The corporation will pay additional fines on top of the fines levied against the corporate personnel. NO corporation is too big to jail or too big to fail.

Prison incarceration will be applied to those convicted of violent offenses including but not limited to: murder, rape, arson, child abuse, assault.

All for-profit prisons are closed. No prison will be a for-profit enterprise. Prisons are the responsibility of the state and paid with taxpayer funds.

National committee is implemented to investigate prison operation, and develop programs for revamping prisons into job training, education, social responsibility training, and violence reduction therapy.

Murder is an insane act. The legal defense of insanity in the case of murder is invalidated. Persons with mental illness are a separate determination of the court proceedings. Persons with mental illness who commit murder can be sent to prisons that are set up to deal with mental health therapy.

Religion

Your religion is not legislation.Religion cannot be used as an excuse for segregation, repression, and denial of services.There is no Islamic Sharia law within the USA. No Burkas are allowed in the USA. There is no Christian type of Sharia law within the USA.

Social Security

Social Security system will be maintained and strengthened.

There will be no ability for government to borrow funds from or get loans backed by the social security system.

Legislation can only be passed that strengthens and expands social security. No legislation can cut social security and social security benefits. The money you contribute to the Social Security system is always your money.

Social Security benefits distribution is modified.

At retirement age, citizens can opt to receive their benefits in one lump sum payment or receive a monthly payment amount. The lump sum payment and the monthly payment are tax free. The lump sum and monthly payment cannot be garnished.

There is no income limit put upon what the citizen can continue to earn beyond the retirement age. The lump sum and monthly payment is not reduced due to ongoing income received by the citizen at and beyond retirement age.

Student loans

Current student loans: 80% of each person's student loan debt is dismissed. Interest is permanently frozen at 2% on the remainder of the loan.

Repayment on the remaining loan debt is reduced to no more than $50 a month, the person may of course decide to pay back the loan with a higher monthly amount, its the person's decision not something forced upon the person. A minimum payment of $5 a month is sufficient to keep the loan debt payment satisfactory.

All student loans are dismissed when the person reaches 60 years of age. Student loans cannot be shifted to spouses or children, nor can student loans be 'inherited' to surviving children or spouse. Student loans can be completely dismissed based upon disability, bankruptcy, unemployment, financial hardship.The point here is that student loans as a program are finished. There will be no student loans.

We will invest in our future and our children with taxes used to subsidize trade school, community college, and university tuition. There will be no further student loans. Students who qualify for various schools and universities have their tuition paid by taxes. After graduation, students will work for 3 years in government employment to repay their tuition. High Schools will administer aptitude tests to clarify students’ interests.

Taxes

The tax system will receive a complete overhaul.The idea of taxes will be: You are paying yourself. You are investing in your family, your children, and your country. You pay taxes to receive programs that benefit you. This includes Health Care, Clean Air, Water and Soil and healthy organic food.

As an investment, you will pay higher taxes. In return for tax payments, the American citizen will receive a National Health Care Program where all medical and dental needs are covered. There will be no further payments for health care access made to the fraud of "health insurance" companies.

A tax overhaul will investigate the possible implementation of a basic guaranteed monthly income of $1,000 a month for each citizen for life. You will be paying for you. You will be investing in you and your fellow American citizens.

Use of tax money is prioritized and allocated in this order:

1st – National Health Care – single payer system. National Health Care will include but not limited to: all pharmaceutical needs, preventative wellness assistance, birth control, rehab, prenatal and postnatal care, dental, eye care, cancer, autism, as well as all medical procedures. Elective cosmetic surgeries, that are not based upon skin, scar, bone, facial rebuilding due to injury, birth defect, or disease, are not covered.

2nd – Social Security system

3rd – Environmental concerns and food safety

4th – subsidize all tuition costs of American citizens attending trade schools, community colleges, and universities.

5th- maintenance of civil rights

6th – Peace Corp

Defense spending is the last priority. A strong defense is a strong healthy people with a strong economy.

TOBACCO

Tobacco products kill 400,000 Americans a year and are linked to 24 different cancers. Due to Tobacco's toxic, cancerous product makeup as it is currently manufactured, it is illegal. Tobacco can continue on the market only if all the additives are removed.There is no taxpayer support for tobacco farmers and tobacco production. Nicotine is listed as an addictive drug.

Torture

Torture is criminal activity. The USA reaffirms its adherence to the United Nations Convention Against Torture Treaty outlawing torture and repudiates as illegal the actions of George Bush, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld and others in their use of torture.

George Bush, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, Condoleeza Rice, Richard Pearle, Colin Powell, Wolfowitz and others are not immune from investigation and prosecution for war crimes. An investigation and prosecution will be initiated for war crimes committed during and after the illegal Iraq invasion.

All private contractors, CIA personnel, military personnel who participated in torture are investigated for war crimes.

The Bush-Cheney Iraq invasion was illegal.

The propaganda term used by Bush-Cheney regime to deflect its actions, "enhanced interrogation", means torture.

Trash, garbage

This important issue will receive taxpayer investment. We need to develop systems that will take our garbage and in a single system - either recycle it or have it generate energy. All products must be made with materials that can be recycled. We will terminate the use of plastics as currently chemically manufactured.There is research that shows that Hemp can be a biodegradable plastic. That type of research and development must be invested in.

University, Community college, Trade school

All such training beyond high school is paid for with taxpayer funds. Students pass exams of competency and aptitude to enter and stay in such education facilities. Upon graduation, students work in government programs of their education area for 3 years.

Women

Women have the right to make their own decisions concerning health care issues. Legislation will not interfere with a woman’s choice of health care procedures, including but not limited to abortion, birth control, diet, heart, breast, ovary, vaginal, cervix, lung concerns.

Women and men have access to all forms of birth control as they need. No legislation is allowed to impede their freedom of such access or decision.

Women get paid the same as men for the same employment with same experience.

Women have the same rights as men and have same access to the law as men. As the USA has a justified separation of Church and State, religious claims cannot interfere with a woman’s choices or impede her decisions including but not limited to: job, employment, inheritance, travel, sexual preferences, property ownership, rents, education, and personal relationships.

The Islamic 'Burka', the complete covering up of a woman in fabric is not allowed within the United States of America.The Islamic repression of women's freedom is illegal and not allowed within the United States of America.There is no Islamic Sharia law within the USA as there is no Christian type of Sharia law within the USA.

The Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights are the guides for government. We the People are the focus and determination of all actions of government. We are all members of government. All legislation created by government has the directive to be implemented for the benefit of 'We, the People." Not we the banks, not we the corporations, not we the white people, not we the Christians. The Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights state the proper focus: "We, the People." All of us. Equal access to and equal protection under the law.
